A comparison Of Exodus 29;38- Al
Leviticus 23:9 IA; Numbers l5:l -l6,
and 28:1-l5 show him that wine
| (Hebrew-Yayin)-the wine that
made Noah, Lot and others
drunk, and strong drink He
brew-Sheker) were specifically des-
ignated by God as the wines that
should be used as drink offerings
offered to himself, and that they were
"a sweet SAVIOR unto the Lord" when
thus offered in good faith. A iull
investigation of this subject reveals
the fact that these drink offerings
are mentioned sixty-tw0 (62) times
in TIE Old Testament. Thirty-eight
| (38) times they are expressly com
mauded or required.
From the above passage it is very
clear that none but strong wines
we're to be used as drink offerings
these being specifically required to
the exclusion of all others, If any
such there were. These strong wines
were to be used for this purpose con
| stantly and in liberal quantities; IL
